A Harris County sheriff's deputy hit a Spring High School student walking Wednesday morning, officials said.

The 15-year-old and other students were walking east on Spring Creek Drive near Lynbriar when he was struck about 6:20 a.m. by a deputy traveling in the same direction, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office said the deputy did not see the group, adding it was dark outside and the road was not lighted. The road also had no sidewalks and the teen was walking on the side of the road, the sheriff's office said.

The teen was taken by LifeFlight medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital. The teen was last reported to have non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff's office said.
